EUR-ACE® accredited programmes

The EUR-ACE® Label, property of ENAEE, was established in March 2006 following the successful completion of the EUR-ACE® programme funded by the European Commission. It distinguishes between First Cycle and Second Cycle Degrees, in accordance with the definitions of the European Qualification Framework.

The accreditation agencies presently authorized to award the EUR-ACE® Label are:

Apparent anomalies in and between the lists reflect actual differences in practice between the respective countries and associated agencies, and the fact that Europe as a whole is presently in a transition period where some nations are restructuring their degree programmes to conform more rationally to the two-cycle structure. In particular, some programmes with a Bachelor designation are labelled First-Cycle and some Second-Cycle: this does not imply a difference of assessment by different agencies, but merely the different historical designation of degrees by the nation concerned.
It can be expected that these anomalies will be removed as restructuring is implemented in the framework of the “Bologna Process”, although this will be a lengthy process since it requires changes in programme structure, agreement within each HEI and subsequent throughput of students, and often revision of national rules and legislation.
